It’s hard to believe nowadays…but the USA was once a COLONY of Britain – just like WE were!! Imagine that!! But they fought a very bloody revolution to gain independence – yet kissed and made up to develop their present SPECIAL relationship!! But in the process, became to the rest of us in the British Empire a model for our dreams. Well from what’s been going on recently in the US of A, seems like there’s another revolution brewing – and maybe we’ll get some lessons again.
And no…this ain’t – as someone suggested – about one of our local leaders imitating Biden who announced he wasn’t gonna be running any longer for the presidency – and recommended his VP Kamala in his stead. Firstly, the individual selected for committing political Hara Kiri – Aubrey Norton – ain’t old and decrepit and the suggested beneficiary of this largess – Amanza Walton-Desir – ain’t his deputy!! In terms of revolution, what your Eyewitness thinks might once again be worthy of emulation is the action going on over in the Republican Party – now under the formal leadership of Donald Trump!! And sorry to disappoint you dear readers – who might be salivating at the thought of your staid Eyewitness recommending crotch-grabbing as “revolution” – that’s just crass and crude behaviour!!
No…what your Eyewitness wants all of us in dear ole Mudland to take notice of is Trump promising to throw out the political system they took over from the Brits after throwing them out – liberalism!! Now you may protest, dear reader, that the Yanks didn’t adopt the Monarchy from their erstwhile rulers – represented by “Mad Hatter” George III. True…true… but behind the new “REPUBLIC” the Yanks created, they retained the assumptions of LIBERALISM!! Meaning they simply insisted that Old George wasn’t following the LIBERAL tradition where THE INDIVIDUAL – EVERY individual – was equal to any other – in their rights!! And Georgie Boy – who assumed he was the source of all power and could do as he very well pleased – was out!!
Is your Eyewitness sayin’ that all of individual rights will now be thrown overboard?? Well, when you get to the bottom o all the fancy rhetoric, that’s exactly what Trump’s promising!! So your question is whether they’ll be bringing back Mad George?? MAYBE – but his name will be “The Don”!!!! He complains that all these individual rights have gotten out of hand – witness all the confusion about, say, gender!! The state oughta reabsorb those powers and create a more harmonious society – under one leader!!
Freedom hasn’t delivered the benefits it was supposed to – innit?? Look at the handful of trillionaires with more wealth than the rest of America!!
Is Guyana ready for this revolution??
…in Venezuela?
While the new American revolution is brewing up in the USA, let’s not forget that in just FIVE days, Venezuelans – those who’re left in the country!! – will be heading to the polls. But will it matter?? Mad Maduro’s been busy stacking the deck in his favour against the Opposition – and not so incidentally preparing to mow them down in the event he’s caught with his hand in the ballot boxes!! He’s branded them – especially most powerful opponent Machado who he banned from participating – “fascists” – who’re planning to overthrow the government and as such they must be dealt with condignly!!
So what’s the Yanks – who’ve sworn to “defend democracy in the world and more specifically in their backyard through their Monroe Doctrine – gonna do ‘bout it?? Well it looks like the madman might’ve been thrown a lifeline with the confusion reigning in Washington as THEY face their own election in November.
He must figure the Biden White House gonna be too preoccupied with prepping Kamala to knock out the Don!!
…in the Opposition?
Some feel Nigel’s present mobilization drive’s gonna be so successful it’ll force Aubrey to step aside for him as the head of the Opposition. But Aubrey’s retort will be the Burnhamite’s “No way canoe can bore punt!!”
